Question

Waiting until birth to find out the sex, need ideas for planning my baby shower!!

Share

My husband and I want to do a couples shower, regardless. And we're not the type to sit and open presents in front of everyone, so we were thinking of throwing a party/shower since most of our friends and family members are married, everyone could come, instead of just the ladies. Of course we would supply the food and drinks, and we're hoping to turn this into a party once the games end. We wanted this to take place sometime in october since that's a good month for us, plus baby is due early Dec :) We planned on making 2 big raffle baskets, one for the guys and one for the ladies for who ever brings diapers or wipes..also, we're kind of hoping to get gift cards, since baby is due in in winter, and we're going to want to shop for gender specific after baby makes his/her arrival :) That way we wouldn't even have to leave the house. I don't know the first thing about registering, Not sure if it's something that is highly recommended or not. But any input and ideas will be so appreciated!

Your shower sounds a lot like mine. We're due in mid-October and having the shower on 9/8. We also don't know the gender and it's also co-ed. My sister is throwing it with a little help from her husband and my mom. We're doing brunch-type food and minimal games, but there will be a few. I like your idea about the raffles. If you're hoping to get gift cards, I'd register for them! A registry is super helpful for your guests. Even if you don't put a lot on there, it will give them an idea about the type of gifts you want to receive. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you want!
